Ha! Yeah, he's a beast! That's MaxFactor the tractor... All 23hp! (Case 234 that's a Mitsubishi underneath the red paint!)
As for your possible diesel conversion.... Do it! You know you want to own a Cummins powered Fender!! :wasntme:

I don't need persuading, just funding...
Tractordata says only 18 hp... ?

Are we really going start that again
Hell yeah!! This is important high power figures we are talking about here Spongie!!
Das.. I think the 18hp is at the shaft.... (Tho when we dynoed mine at work a few months back it nearly flipped the dyno over with all the power!! We managed 13hp at the shaft before we lost sight of the tractor for the smoke!!:D)
I did look at dynoing the Cummins b4 I fitted it, but the gearbox output shaft goes the wrong way for the PTO dyno. :)
We blew head gasket on a mf35 on dyno lol.
Now there's lots of space in the center of my 101! Just a few more bits and bobs to pull off tomorrow evening and I'll take it into work and introduce the bits I can't usually reach to the steam cleaner. :)
It's possible, but having tried shoving one around the yard sans engine and box, I can tell you it's ****in heavy, and you'll not get much speed up unless you're heading downhill...
I'm sure there's plenty of innuendos in there relating to powerful shafts, whose is bigger etc...
